Advanced Placement (AP) courses are taught at a college level with curriculum determined by The College Board. AP courses include extensive reading. Students in AP courses may earn college credit if they perform well on the national AP tests. To enroll in an AP course, students must be recommended by a prerequisite teacher, complete an application, and be approved prior to placement. For AP courses, teachers will add five (5) points to the final average of each grading period and each semester exam grade. The two nine-week grades and the semester exam grade will be used to calculate the semester average. Points are not added to the semester average. Students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses are expected to sit for the standardized AP exam. Students who fail to sit for the standardized AP exam will not be awarded the additional points attributed to the AP class. Quarter and semester grades received throughout the school year will be adjusted to reflect the student’s failure to sit for the standardized AP exam.
